what would you pay for a new first spouse?

what is the most you would pay for a new spouse proof?

[ldhair]

A little over melt. But thats just me.

I wanted to put together a set of these but the first ones made me give up the idea.

[ibyandsellsmith]

$000.000.00

[ant]

and for a second part!

what is a amount over purchase price that would be acceptable in yalls mind?

[jtryka]

I would pay $410.95 for the unc and $429.95 for the proof (at least I think that's what I agreed to pay the mint!), of course this applies only to the Liberty one, the other two uglies I'd only pay melt for, and even then there are many other gold coins I'd buy first!

Issue price seems reasonable.

I would wait 2 1/2 or 3 years when mortgage rates hit double digits and all the people with flexible rate mortgages start selling off things. according to MR Greenspan

That's good to consider for any common coin and even some less common ones.

 

Many people have been net sellers for a while.

I paid about $20.00 for my first spouse...That was the going rate for a Justice of the peace at the time...

 

It did however cost quite a bit more to get rid of it though. (thumbs u

[gmarguli]

I would pay 30% under the going rate, just like for all coins.

Why buy a 200 year-old woman at today's prices when you can get a 25 year-old for a lot less?

I paid a lot to get rid of my first spouse.

Me too! Gee, it's too bad the Mint doesn't have a return policy for them.

first spouse, is that politically correct for first lady, now? At least for this series, there's not really any chance of anything else but a first lady, right?

Depends on who you think will be President in 2008. They probably don't want to be showing any favoritism or lack thereof.

Yea if Hillary wins in 2008 and we have round two of the Hill-Billy adminstration, both them will get on presidental and first spouse coins. Although I hope to live for many years, that's one thing I hope I won't live to see.

 

So far as what I would pay for a first spouse coin, I purchased the Draped Bust piece that was just sold. I'll consider buying more of the retro designs as they come up, but I won't be buying any them that have historical first ladies on them.

That's true. There is only a very slight chance. First Hillary has to win the election, and then within about the next ten years Carter, Bush I, Bill, Bush II, and Hillary would all have to die. If any one of them fails to meet the Grim Reaper then no William Jefferson Clinton First Spouse coin.

But, it would create another dilemma. If Bill and Hillary were on the coins, wouldn't we have to change our numismatic terminology from obverse and reverse to head and tail?

A lot less than my original first spuse cost.

NAhhhhhhhh !!!!!!!!!!! Money well spent in my opinion !

[mightytoast-migration]

Issue price seems equitable. Unfortunately, I don't have the income to afford that...

 

That's why I buy extras, sell them, and keep a specimen (at no expense) for my collection

 

It has worked so far.
